The word Pokémon is spelled with a capital P and an accented é. The é can be accessed by holding Alt and typing either 130 or 0233 on a Windows computer, and by using Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can easily click it in the character palette below the editbox.

The word Poké Ball is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a capital B. The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.

The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon or other media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.

If you happen to spot a vandal in the recent changes that has not been dealt with, please see this page for how to deal with it.

A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at this page. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found here, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found here.

For a future capture, release, trade, or evolution of a Pokémon belonging to a main character of the anime, please do not create or move the page to reflect your suspicions, even if they are shared by many others. Policy here is to wait until the episode in which the event happens takes place is aired, unless there is substantial evidence for the suspicion (such as Brock's Happiny being held in his arms).

Image uploading is done on Bulbagarden Archives, a separate wiki accessible through the toolbox in the sidebar. This is done so that both Bulbapedia and Bulbanews have access to the images uploaded. To activate your account at the Archives and Bulbanews, please login there using the same username and password you use here on Bulbapedia.

If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:Wowy/(name), not merely (name). Bulbapedia's main namespace is reserved for actual, official Pokémon, items, characters, and locations. Also, please try to make sure that subpages are not categorized by templates used within.

Having said this, please make sure that you do contribute adequately to the main namespace. Bulbapedia is not MySpace or Facebook.

Thank you, and have a good time editing here! --MoldyOrange 01:41, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Gym Leaders' Pokémon

Please, we only need one Pokémon from a leader (excluding Brock and Misty). Most of these Pokémon are not notable for an article and they wouldn't have substantial informtion to be a good one. Roark, for example, already has a page for his Rampardos. Please refrain from creating any more. MoldyOrange 01:50, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

design basis article

hey, man, what's up? listen, we're creating a lot of edit conflicts in our edits... you mind giving me an hour to work on this article? I'm trying to do something. Waiting for your reply before I keep going. Thanx. --electAbuzzzz(TALK) 09:42, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

ahah...--Wowy 06:51, 8 August 2008 (UTC) but no one told me... does it mean i can get rid of that top bit???

New pages

When creating them, um, make more substance, and of course... categorize it. TTEchidna 06:36, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

What does it mean to categorize it...only trying to help--Wowy 06:36, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Okay, look at a page like Fiore. Notice how at the bottom there's categories, right? You put them in by putting [[Category:(whatever)]] at the bottom. Look what I did to the page you just made, and just make sure to do that so others don't have to. No page BUT the Main Page should be uncategorized. TTEchidna 06:41, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

의

But 의 romanized as "e" is not a part of any conventional Romanization schemes (we use only conventional ones, no custom schemes, same with Japanese [we use Hepburn] and Chinese [we use PinYin]) and "e" also creates ambiguities. --Maxim 14:55, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

When fixing up the tutoring...

...you can't just move the "yes" and "no" to the end. Look at how Swampert was done. You have to add additional "no"s for DP and Pt's entries. See the talk page. TTEchidna 03:22, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

I think i just noticed... thats y i was just gonna change for lugia... but thanks for directing me to the page!!!! XD--Wowy 03:24, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Upload

I'm trying to help find pictures that are needed but can someone someone tell me how to upload pictures...? I'm having trouble...--Wowy 05:58, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Link in the toolbox to the left that says "upload file." It'll take you to the Archives and walk you through the process. --((Martonimos)) 07:40, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Categorization

All new articles need to be categorized. I could care less if such an article is an incomplete list, it still needs to be categorized. --Shiningpikablu252 03:06, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

my bad... must of pressed the wrong one... thanks for noticing--Wowy 06:53, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Contact

Do you have a Forums username that I can contact you by Private Message (or any other contact)? I have something I need to ask you that can't be discussed on a talk page. ㄱ쉰 G50 03:27, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

I just made a Bulbagarden forum account of the same name. You can message me there.--Wowy (talk) 03:37, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Korean translation, por favor

Hi, you were listed in the category for people who speak Korean so I'm assuming you do lol. I would like to ask if 즐거워 means "glad" or "rejoice". Because well, google translate is not exactly trustworthy when it comes to these things. That word is allegedly the password for Bianca's pokedex skin on listed on this page. But I don't know any Korean so I can't really know for sure.
Also, 이 사용하는 도감스킨을 에 translates to "illustrated book skin". Is that correct? And which part of that is Korean for Pokedex? Thanks a bunch. Raykyogrou0(Talk) 07:31, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

Oh ok, thanks. 「벨」이 사용하는 도감스킨을 에 is the phrase on the korean global link site here [1]. 「벨」translates to "Bel", so I assumed that it doesn't matter lol. What is the exact Hangul for pokedex then? Raykyogrou0(Talk) 07:57, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

So "Pokedex skin that Bianca uses" is 「벨」이 사용하는 도감스킨을 에 in hangul exactly? Also 도감 is "dogam", correct? What does that mean literally? Like how ポケモン図鑑 Pokémon Zukan means "illustrated Pokémon encyclopedia"? Raykyogrou0(Talk) 09:42, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

「벨」이 사용하는 도감스킨 means the "Pokedex skin that Bianca uses", 을 and 에 are just particles like conjunctions and so don't make sense at the end of the sentence. And yes 도감 is "dogam" and I would say it has the exact same meaning as the japanese Zukan (except maybe it doesn't have to be an encyclopedia necessarily, but just any informative book. I guess that's what an encyclopedia is anyway). I've had a look and it seems they call the Pokedex "포켓몬 도감".--Wowy (talk) 06:58, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
